Just a minor clarification: "HIS" is not defined in the underlying Amber
libraries. Most leaprc files have lines like this:

#
# assume that most often proteins use HIE
#
NHIS = NHIE
HIS = HIE
CHIS = CHIE

This is where the default behavior for "HIS" is defined. If you want a
different default, modify those lines (probably in a copy).
