Random number calls

This may seem like a stoopid question, but when a random number is called
for in the code (such as for hitpoint gains or offensive spells), is that
number truly random?  Or is there a way that a mort could somehow know
when to have the random number called if he/she wanted a certain result?
I've heard something to this effect (that the numbers aren't truly
random) somewhere.. thanks.
