There's no way to know that, but hopefully so.  The charges from ATB would 
appear to me to be somewhat over-fitted, so adjusting them would be the first 
place I would look.  Introducing new atom types means you have to make sure a 
lot more interactions are reasonable.  Simple charge adjustments using existing 
atom types is straightforward, but it may be possible that you need to do more work.
