Can he parry a slam? A shield rush? And he's probably not fast enough to chase you down if you want to run away.
That's the real problem with a PC who's sunk most of his points into Broadsword-40. Build this character and put him in an actual fight with a real opponent and see what happens when you have only the one skill to rely on.

There won't be a fight. No Combat Reflexes, no high Per and no Observation. Someone with decent fieldcraft will simply be hidden until they can shoot an arrow into their back or grapple them from behind and murder them while they are Mentally Stunned.
