If you have all three feats, and successfully bull rush an opponent into another opponent activating the domino rush ability of Shock trooper, then successfully trip both opponents do you get to attack both opponents based on the free attack benefit of Improved trip?

Then, if you kill one (or both) of those opponents, can you then get an attack (or two if you have Great Cleave) against any opponent that you threaten using the benefit of the Cleave feat?

My understanding is that the answer to all of these questions is yes, but I just wanted to make sure I was right before trying to pull this off with a new character I'm making.

Yes.
So you bullrush them, trip both of them, then improved trip triggers and you make an attack on each of them. If you kill one of them, then cleave triggers and you get an extra attack.:)

Yep, it all works.

Just make sure your wizzy or cleric casts enlarge person on you before, just in case you weren't brutalizing the enemy enough.

Sweet, well I'm off to buy some enlarge potions. Now I've just got to find some bad guys that will stand close to each other... :smirk:

If your DM knows what your going to do enemies will be really, really, really far apart.

What's more is that if:

Domino Rush one enemy into another
Trip attack on one enemy - fails
Trip attack on another enemy - succeeds
Free attack on tripped enemy - succeeds, kills
Cleave attack on first enemy - replace with trip attack
trip - succeeds
free attack - downed enemy

What book is this Shock Trooper feat in?
It sounds lovely.
