Are you suggesting that I can change the combination rule in the
forcefield.itp file but I must also supply a table for pairs using -tablep
option for this to work?

Clarification: I want to use forcefield parameters with user defined tables
i.e. I want to use sigma and epsilon values generated by pdb2gmx along
with a user-defined modified potential energy function using tables.
