As far as 4*(D-2) for a Bestows a Narrow Bonus goes, you're not worried about the scaling? Is +8 worth twice as much as +4, or more than that?

a +4 bonus is 4*(4-2)=8. a +8 bonus is 4*(8-2)=24. Your general instinct is correct, but you need to remember to subtract the 2. The curve in general looks like this:

+1:1
+2:2
+3:4
+4:8
+5:12
+6:16
+7:20
+8:24
+9:28
+10:32

and so forth

Ah, that's right, isn't it? That actually looks pretty good, thank you.

This has definite ramifications for people who are able to cast RPM damage buffing spells on particularly brawny recipients

Or RPM-buffing recipients to make them brawny before then buffing their weapon.
