Back when the Japan book was written, the Rifts Auto Dodge still ate up an attack. (as it says in the text)

It looks like if you don't stop the leap dodging it only costs one APM per melee.

Maybe PB should put out a updating pamphlet for the older world-/source-books. And have the new updated text in the new printings.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

It means you spend 1 attack to activate Automatic Leap Dodge, but once activated it lasts for the rest of the round and lets you do leap dodges without using attacks.

Activation cost, not per-dodge cost.
