I've played stealth games before, I recognize these when I see them:

  1. Standard bolt
  2. Frog bolt for underwater use
  3. Crystal bolt, freezes foe in magic crystal
  4. Leaf bolt, lays out a soft surface to muffle sounds
  5. AP bolt, for heavy armor targets
  6. Fire bolt
  7. Noise maker
  8. Homing bolt
  9. Grappling hook for climbing
  10. Tree bolt, grows trees anywhere you need them
  11. Stun bolt, knocks foes unconscious
  12. Water bolt, splashes torches to douse them

I think Deadly Shadows had a moss arrow too.

Moss arrows have been in since TDP as well. (Source Thief 1\2 are among my favorite games, haha)

Ah, I should have picked one to be a gas arrow, those are great too!
