I have a question regarding Bludgeon Expertise. I've always interpreted it as adding +1 to the distance you slide or push targets, if the attack already slides or pushes the target. As the feat is worded, you get a +1 bonus to "the number of squares you push or slide creatures with weapon attacks you make with a hammer or a mace."
But yesterday I noticed a feature in the Polearm Master paragon path called Forceful Reach that is basically identical but includes an important qualifier: "If you use a reach weapon to deliver a weapon power that pushes, pulls, or slides a target," add +1 to the distance of forced movement.
Since Bludgeon Expertise explicitly doesn't include the qualifier that the attack must already push or slide the target, it seems reasonable to interpret it differently. Mant of my warden's attacks push or slide targets 0 squares....
My DM would never allow it. But the logic is sound, right?

No. Your initial interpretation is correct - this sort of language is not standardised in 4e, sadly.

Well it was worth a try! Thanks.

Its an incorrect interpretation. Bludgeon Expertise let you gain a bonus to the number of squares you push or slide creatures with weapon attacks. If the attack doesn't push or slide, it cannot benefit from the Feat's bonus to that number of squares.
Out of curiosity, which Warden powers push or slide 0 squares because i don't know any ?

He meant that if a power doesn't push or slide, then it pushes or slides 0, which is incorrect.

Zero is not a quantity.
Zero damage is not damage.
Zero resistance is not resistance.
Zero shield bonus is not a shield bonus.
This is actually remarkably consistent.

Question: after I've made a stealth check to become hidden, do I know which monsters, if any, I am hidden from? The reason I ask is because the Cunning Sneak rogue tactic build has a couple of attacks that can only target monsters that I'm currently hidden from, so this information needs to be available to the rogue in some form or other, right?

Nope. Depends on their perception results.
In such cases, you announce your intention, and the DM then tells you whether you can or not.

Yes. Becoming Hidden is a check against a target DC and as such you know if it succeed or not
 Opposed Check: Against the passive Perception of each target creature present.
Success: The creature becomes hidden from the target. Being hidden means being silent and invisible.

RC 23 Making Checks: Making checks is the core mechanic of the game. It follows a few simple steps:
1. Roll a twenty-sided die (d20). The higher the result, the better.
2. Add any relevant modifiers, wether bonuses of penalties
3. Compare to the target number. If the result equal or exceed the target number, the check succeed. Otherwise, its a failure.
This is simple gouverns most Dungeons & Dragons Play. Three types of checks come up in most sessions of the game: attack rolls, skill checks and ability checks. No matter what type of check a creature is making, modifiers come into play: bonuses, penalties or both.
