Its subsumed into your Combat skill. And we're not playing a nittygrittyblowbyblow game, I think. However, if you said, "I'm hiding behind my shield and parrying his attacks I'd say you had a low bid. I might even give you a bit of a defensive advantage, depending on the situation. Its really up to the narrator.
But the game is not doggly simulationist the way RQ was and is much more cinematic.
