Players of course decide on their Intent, but for monsters it's either GM fiat or a random table depending on your style. I'm sure you could make some tables like this if you need
>roll 1d10
>Mindless Monster (golem): Assault 1-10
>Aggressive Monster (orc, wolf, demon): Assault 1-7, Counter 8, Feint 9-10
>Defensive/Fleeing/Cowardly Monster: Assault 1-2, Counter 3-5, Feint 6, Defend 7-10.
and so on...
For fights where you're engaged with multiple opponents, perhaps you roll against each opponent individually, but you get a penalty to ALL of the rolls the more opponents there are. So against 2-3 opponents you get -2 on your checks. Against 4-5 you get -3. Against 6+ it's a nasty -4. Something like that? So it's a very good idea for everyone to crowd the troll and kill it, even if the individual party member aren't themselves contributing much damage. Getting swarmed by Goblins by yourself would be pretty harsh unless you're a Fighter in Plate and that seems about right to me.
Anyway, just an idea. Take it if you want.
One more thing I forgot to mention in response to the OP, I'm not a fan games where weapons are equal. It's actually okay for a greatsword to outperform a dagger 99% of the time and I prefer that. "I'm the Dagger Guy, so I can stand toe-to-toe with the Greatsword Guy in a fight" is gay to me.
