Default CAT II Minimums on a CAT I Approach

I've heard that some pilots have the authority to descend to CAT II
minimums (RA100) on CAT I intstrument approaches. If this is true,
then how is the CAT I approach altered? Is the DH simply lowered?
Seems like this would result in steeper approach angles to make it
work out right. Alternately it seems possible that the DH is lowered
farther along the inbound course...but wouldn't this make it more
difficult to transition out of the cockppit and land?
