It doesn't matter how an Innate Attack would be modified, because Leech isn't an Innate Attack. A big portion of the cost of leech is in the healing. Going from "Can heal from any living thing" to "Can only heal from 50% of a specific species" is a massive reduction in utility.

Edit: And now that I think about it, an Innate Attack that only worked on female humans would also be a nasty limitation. Being attacked by a bugbear? Alien squid? Blob monster? Angry poodle? Sorry. No good. Really, any situation other then "Only threats are humans" that kind of limitation should be worth more then 20%.
