You gain one additional stat point every 5 levels un-tiered, and one for every 10 levels starting at tier 1. Stat points are re-distributed each time you tier. This way you can go from a high DEX smuggler to a pyrokinetic with a lot of INT once you tier. Although you can tier at 80 you will lose access to the two points un-tiered, and one point tiered you get from hitting max level.
All Races, except Gi'pok, start with some combination of 45 points. Gi'pok start with 43.
