Actually, since the low order bits are usually less random (using rand()) then the higher order bits, this would be more random:

randInt = (int)( rand() / (RAND_MAX + 1) * 10 + 1 )

the method previously posted uses only the lowest few bits (the least random), while this method relies mostly on the high order bits.

Yes, it's picky

maybe you can use the various dice roller plugins. They do nothing more then generating a random number (also between 1 and 10):
