:) It is the later. I don't remember what it means as a term of art. I moved and I've got the dictionary packed in one of some 120+, unlabeled banker boxes of books.
This discussion came up on the this or the D20 list, when the licenses were still undergoing initial revisions, and I suggested that it wouldn't hurt to dump the word "potation" from the license due to its archaic nature. That argument either wasn't heard or wasn't persuasive enough to get WotC attorneys to change the boilerplate. I recall looking it up in what must have been Black's 6th ed. I was not familiar with "potation" being a legal term before that time. I've just been informed that the word is not in Black's 7th ed. nor Black's Revised 4th ed. I believe you can find it buried in some of the boilerplate forms from Nichol's, and probably in the Matthew Bender forms as well, but neither would provide a definition of it.

Is this like a teaser trailer for a film? I said we probably ought to look in Black's Law Dictionary. Do you know what the term means? Or is it that you remember seeing the term, but don't have your dictionary there and don't know what the term means?
