I don't have much gold to spend, only 3100 gold or so... But what items would you suggest that would help keep him alive or make him more helpful for the team? Or what things should I prepare to encounter in the tomb?

Tomb Of Horrors is more of a party-build thing.
Better senses would be of use: what is your search and spot modifier? Bump them up.
But also be prepared to have your fella die the moment you get careless or greedy.
What abilities have you got outside of combat?
For gear look at Shax's Indispensable Haversack handbook.

Looks like you're set up to deal damage - that means the rest of the party can be trapfinders, healers, and buffers. You may be able to break some walls, I suppose, but generally, the Tomb of Horrors is about nasty, sneaky traps, more than heavy fighting (unless you decide to go ethereal, iirc).

[Darrin]

The whole point of ToH is really not about combat. As far as equipment... Collar of Perpetual Attendance (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fools/20030401c), a wand of detect secret doors, and the obligatory 11-foot pole should be all you need (or at least all the help we can give you without spoilers).

Darrin is right. Most combats are avoidable, and even those you do run into can usually be escaped quite easily. Basically, it is a game of paranoia. At-Will Detect abilities and see-whatever abilities reign surpreme.

And dispel magic. Definitely find a way to use it as often as allowed. Three or four fully-charged wands should help keep you alive. It won't save you if you're reckless, though.
