Thanks for the ref and info, Dave!
If you want, you can always make your own charges. You should
probably start with our charges and run an MD from which you extract a
few hundred frames. Then, compute and average the partial charges
over all of the frames. It is probably worthwhile to check the
distribution of charges on those hydrogens, just to see if setting a
charge is statistically relevant.
If you want charges that change, you will need to use a force field
designed for that. It will be computationally more expensive, and
someone else will have to comment about those force fields.
