Default Converting Adds to Dice from the start.

Would it be fair/legal to convert attacks that do fixed damage into dice using the optional rule on page 269 of basic? Say, would buying Leech 3 allow me to turn that into 1 die of leech HP?

Are there any examples of this having been done before? I know Psionic Powers has the Margin Based enhancement, but that's not quite what 'im looking for.

EDIT: Oh my, would you look at that, I just reread Leech, and it answers my question.

Yes, but in your example, you'd have to buy Leech 4 to do 1d of injury, because 1d is the equivalent of 0d+4. See Modifying Dice + Adds on p. B269 for details.
