That doesnt sound like save scumming to me. Save scumming is usually referring to reloading a save over and over until you get the RNG you want. Like an xcom mission where you need to make a 25% shot and you save and reload until you hit that shot.

So for bg3 save scumming would be seeing that you have a low chance to get a roll, saving and then reloading until you get lucky.
