I don't have my books with me, so if I'm misremembering rules, please bear with me.
My understanding of "normal" falling (non-flying-related) is that the victim takes 1d10 of damage for every 10' fallen and they wind up prone at the end of the fall.
I believe the damage would be rounded down when falling and odd number. So if one fell 5' (one square), they shouldn't take damage.
However, would the subject of a 5' drop be prone?

Prone is a result of the damage. If you take no fall damage (for whatever reason, trained acrobatics check, magic item, etc) you don't fall prone. If you fall less than 10' you automatically take no damage, so you can't fall prone.

Thank you.
Extra question: does damage avoided due to damage resistance count? A person falls 10' and only takes 2 points of damage, but they have DR 2, so they wind up on their feet? Seems odd.

Many RAW things are odd. But yeah, damage reduced via DR means you didn't take the damage.

Not sure i would call that odd.
I mean, if you reduce the impact of a mace hitting you, why wouldn't you reduce the impact of the ground hitting you?

my builds
Show
F-111 Interdictor Long (200+ squares) distance ally teleporter. With some warlord stuff. Broken in a plot way, not a power way.
Thought Switch Higher level build that grants upto 14 attacks on turn 1. If your allies play along, it's broken.
Elven Critters Crit op with crit generation. 5 of these will end anything. Broken.
King Fisher Does an excellent job at keeping an enemy disabled in a few ways. Strong.
Boominator Fun catch-22 booming blade build with either strong or completely broken damage depending on your reading.
Very Distracting Warlock Lot's of dazing and major penalties to hit. Overpowered.
Pocket Protector Pixie Stealth Knight. Maximizing the defender's aura by being in an ally's/enemy's square.
Yakuza NinjIntimiAdin: Perma-stealth Striker that offers a little protection for ally's, and can intimidate bloodied enemies. Very Strong.
Chargeburgler with cheese Ranged attacks at the end of a charge along with perma-stealth. Solid, could be overpowered if tweaked.
Void Defender Defends giving a penalty to hit anyone but him, then removing himself from play. Can get somewhat broken in epic.
Scry and Die Attacking from around corners, while staying hidden. Moderate to broken, depending on the situation.
Skimisher Fly in, attack, and fly away. Also prevents enemies from coming close. Moderate to Broken depending on the enemy, but shouldn't make the game un-fun, as the rest of your team is at risk, and you have enough weaknesses.
Indestructible Simply won't die, even if you sleep though combat.
Sir Robin (Bravely Charge Away) He automatically slows and pushes an enemy (5 squares), while charging away. Hard to rate it's power level, since it's terrain dependent.
Death's Gatekeeper A fun twist on a healic, making your party "unkillable". Overpowered to Broken, but shouldn't actually make the game un-fun, just TPK proof.
Death's Gatekeeper mk2, (Stealth Edition) Make your party "unkillable", and you hidden, while doing solid damage. Stronger then the above, but also easier for a DM to shut down. Broken, until your DM get's enough of it.
Domination and Death Dominate everything then kill them quickly. Only works @ 30, but is broken multiple ways.
Battlemind Mc Prone-Daze Protecting your allies by keeping enemies away. Quite powerful.
The Retaliator Getting hit deals more damage to the enemy then you receive yourself, and you can take plenty of hits. Heavy item dependency, Broken.
Dead Kobold Transit Teleports 98 squares a turn, and can bring someone along for the ride. Not fully built, so i can't judge the power
Psilent Guardian Protect your allies, while being invisible. Overpowered, possibly broken
Unnamed Avenger|Runepriest/Hammer of Vengance Do lot's of damage while boosting your teams. Strong to slightly overpowered.
Charedent BarrageA charging ardent. Fine in a normal team, overpowered if there are 2 together, and easily broken in teams of 5.
Super Knight A tough, sticky, high damage knight. Strong.
Super Duper Knight Basically the same as super knight, only far more broken.
Mora, the unkillable avenger Solid damage, while being neigh indestuctable. Overpowered, but not broken.
Swordburst Maximus At-Will Close Burst 3 that slide and prones. Protects allies with off actions. Strong, possibly over powered with the right party.

Depends on how you think about it. I don't actually find it odd, but the OP does. And there are RAW things I do find odd, like being able to sleep an army in a single square.

I didn't think that DR removing falling damage was odd. If I'm wearing a heavily padded magical armor suit and fall a short distance, then sure, it makes sense that I'm not hurt by it.
What I considered odd is that the ability of the suit to prevent me from getting hurt also enables me to land on my feet. Mr. Heavily Plated Warrior is walking along oblivious, the terrible visibility of his armor causes him to not see the pit in front of him so he tumbles into the pit. After tumbling through the air, he lands on his feet because he didn't take damage.
Certainly not the weirdest RAW rule, of course. Just wanted to understand.

Well, as far as the feet thing, think of it this way.
You always land on your feet.
Whether you stay on your feet depends on whether you hurt yourself in the process. Rather than "not-damage means you're not prone," it's "damage means you're prone."
