Enfeeble provides a penalty to damage rolls. Lots of other effects affect damage rolls too, but let's stick with enfeebled.

Why are spell damage rolls affected by Enfeeble?

As far as I can tell (thank you Tholomyes) p293 which calls out "A damage roll typically uses a number and type of dice determined by the weapon or unarmed attack used or the spell cast" so yeah, by RAW, Enfeeble affects your spells.

:(

Couldn't use this thread with the exact same title and only 3 down in the forum?

The devs are pretty active on the board, and I wanted to make sure the nuance of Spell damage rolls didn't get lumped in with the more sensible "enfeeble affects weapon damage rolls". So I made a new post :D

On a similar note does inspire courage affect spell damage rolls?

It seems to fall in the same category as Enfeeble, RAW. So yes, until they consider errata for this.
