There's no limitation on Leech like "requires bite" or anything like that, which still says to me it's a feature (Vampiric Bite is basically Leech with Blood Agent, but how you drink the blood is actually not a limitation, just that the target must be bleeding).

Good point, you're probably right.

Well, it's the succubus's ability from horror, yes, but that build of leech isn't given a unique name and it works via "sexual contact" rather than a kiss. Alternately, do you think it would be fair to work this new build down to a negative modifier instead and use the rule for alternate limitations via multiplication on the two "package" costs? Because as of right now, the only thing making the
new build an overall enhancement is that it has the "Addictive Bite" modifier, from Horror, which I'm not sure I want to keep in any case.
